If you want to pursue your passion but feel trapped in the daily grind, you’ve come to the right place.

In this episode of the Dashdot Insider Podcast, we chat with Ben Munn, a property investment expert who turned data-driven decisions into a quest for true happiness. 

Ben was an average corporate guy who took a bold leap into the nonprofit world to follow his passion. And not only did he find purpose, but he also crafted a pathway to financial freedom through property investing. 

Ben walks us through his emotional journey, sharing how an analytical background in tech helped him manage the highs and lows. 

From selling their home to create a financial legacy for their kids and grandkids, to aggressively investing in properties through a self-managed superfund, they broke free from the 9-to-5 hamster wheel and assembled a rockstar team of advisors so they could succeed.

Tune in to this podcast episode—you’ll laugh, you'll learn, and you might find that little spark you've been missing to chase your dreams.

Ever thought it’s too late for you to dive into property investing?

If your answer is “Yes”, I want you to meet Mat Sing – a property investor with big plans for the future. 

As a paramedic with a clear vision for a stress-free retirement, Mat is meticulously crafting a 10-year property investment strategy to access his superannuation tax-free at 60.

Despite previous setbacks making him cautious, Mat’s resolve to provide a better future for his children pushed him back into the property market. He’s now using property not just as a financial tool, but as a stepping stone to a better lifestyle for his family.

In this episode, Mat discusses the evolving landscape of property investment, particularly for those approaching 50, and contrasts it with the impulsive nature of younger investors seeking instant gratification.

Join us on the Dashdot Insider Podcast to hear how Mat leverages equity and rental income to diminish stress and enhance his family's future. 

Mat’s journey is a powerful reminder: It’s never too late to start making smart moves toward your financial goals.

Here’s a truth bomb: 

From 2020 to 2022, the cost of living in Australia has skyrocketed. With the government putting $240 billion into the economy each year, household expenses have been on a continuous rise.

At this rate, living costs could go up even further by 18-20% for a family of four. But it’s not just household expenses going up. With more money going around, property prices are getting pushed upwards, too. 

In fact, some properties are already selling for much more than advertised due to high demand and not enough supply. This is squeezing more and more people out of the property market.

So, if you’ve got the means to take advantage of this perfect storm while we’re in it, you better take quick action. If you do, then you could be in for a very good year of investing in property.

So stay informed, have a plan, and seek expert advice to make the most of what is shaping up to be a record-breaking year for property growth.
